Contents include manuscripts of verses by John Hall-Stevenson and Robert Lascelles; letters by members of his club and social circle, including a lengthy letter by Jean-Baptiste Tollot discussing Laurence Sterne's character and good nature (1762 April 4) and another describing events in Geneva immediately after the expulsion of Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1764 January 8); and related correspondence, including a letter of advice from Hall-Stevenson to his grandson John Wharton and several business letters received by Wharton. The printed broadside song, "Trout Hall," is extensively annotated in Hall-Stevenson's hand.
Description:
Formerly owned by William Durrant Cooper. Purchased from Paul Grinke on the Edwin J. Beinecke Book Fund, 1972., John Hall-Stevenson (1718-1785), was a poet, a country gentleman, and a close friend of Laurence Sterne, whom he met at Cambridge and who based the character of Eugenius in Tristram Shandy on him. Hall-Stevenson founded a club of "Demoniacks," which met at "Crazy Castle," his country seat, and was loosely modeled on Sir Francis Dashwood's Monks of Medmenham. His published works included Crazy Tales and Fables for Grown Gentlemen, both of which were reprinted several times during his lifetime. He died at home in March, 1785., and The collection also contains a photocopy of W. Durrant Cooper's "Seven Letters Written by Sterne and His Friends;" a copy of the bookseller's catalogue; and a handwritten finding aid for the collection.
